' upper end is a. hammer 3.

'40 l received, which is formed on the book 4.

My invention relates to on improvement in't'oy pistols, and the object is to provide means whereby an explosive t; ie can be fed in the path of the l timer-so t. at it" will be ex loded uporrthe operation of the trigger.

he invention consists in many other novel features of construction and combine-- tions'of'perts which will be hereinafter described and pointed out in the claims. In the accompanying drawings :l"igure 1. is a view in side elevation withn port of the handle and barrel of the gun broken :1 my; Fig. 2 is a. view of the combined hammer and trigger; Fig. 3 is a view of the bzLGli; and. Fig. 4. is a detail.

A-represents the barrel and B the handle. The trigger 1 is pivotnlly mounted on a pin .2 in the rear of the barrel, zinl hiri'ned st the The. hammer is formed on the rear side so that it strikes against the heck 4 ol' the lntndlc. The main spring 5 is mounted on the trigger and one end. beers against the lmrrelnnd the other end bears against the lnumnor 3, causing); it to return. to its normal position or causing the hammer to lie against the anvil 6 formed on the back 4. The back 4 is rernovnjbly held bi-itween'thc sides 7, 7 ol the handle B, and is )rovided :11 its upper end with grooves 8, in w rich are received pins or lugs 9 formed on the sides ol the handle tit the upper end thereof. A slot 10 is formed in one of the sides 7 of the handle, in which on nrin ll pin 12 is formed on the arm at its lower end on which is mounted the ex losive tape 13. A pring 14 is held between t to sides by pins 15, 15, which pass through the sides 7, 7. This spring extci'uls upwardly and causes the tape to be held againstthe hook at, whereby r} can be led along to the anvil o and hammer On the rear side of the hammer nv recess 16 is formed in which is received one end of spring 17 The spring posses nround the well of the recess and is scouredat one end in slot 18 formed in the hummer. The spring passes downwardly from the hammer end curves upwardly beneath it pin 19, which is secured to the sides 7, 7, to the tape 13'. T'l spring engages the tape and causes it to be fed up to the anvil 6 when the hammer is forced forward as the trigger is drawn reorwnrdly, and n )011 releasing the trigger the l'nnnmei will e forced renrwsrdly hy the spring 5, causing it to come in contact with the explosive tape on the anvil. 6, thereby causing an explosion. w

From the foregoing it will be seen that l.

have provided a very simple means for feeding the tape to be exploded and the manner or" operating the hammer forcansing the explosion. Again the removable back can he removed by simply forcing up the lower end thereof and sliding it forward until it is released l'roin the pins J. When it is desired to place it new tape on the pin. 12 of arm ii, the heck cnn be swung upwardly upon the pins 9 and the new tape placed on the pin. The tape will be drawn along until it reaches approximately the upper end of the.

back where it will he engaged by the springs '17 and l4, when the book can be lorced back into position and the pistol is then ready for use. The spring l4 performs at very importunt function 1t retains the tape in its proper position along the hook i end prevents the tape from slipping ren.;-nrd.ly

down into the magazine or handle of the pistol when the leed spring '17 Works down torlending; the tape in the path of the hammer. it also prevents the heck fire from the exploding cnp from lhishing heels; and exploding the rest of the zinmiunition or tape.

it evident that more or less slight ehnnges n'iight he resorted to in the form and nrinngenient oi the several ports described without departing from the spirit and scope of my invention, and hence I do not wish to be limited to the exact construction herein set forth, but z- Having fully described my invention, what I claim as new and desire to securehy Let-- tors Patent, is

l. A pistol comprising a barrel and handle, a hatch pivotelly mounted on. the handle, and

means on the heel; {or carrying an explosive to )o.

2. A pistol ctnnprising n barrel and handle,

it removable back on the handle, means on the back for carrying an explosive tripe.

A pistol comp rising a barrel endhondle,

a back pivotally mounted on the handle,

njreans on the back for carrying an explosive tape, a hammer and means for guiding the tape into the path ol the hammer.

i. A pistol comprising a barrel and handle, a removable back on the handle, means on the hack adapted to receive an explosive tape, a hammer, a trigger on the hammer, and means on the hammer for feeding the tape into the path of the hammer.

5. A pistol eon'iprising a barrel and handle, a removable hack on the handle adapted to receire an explosive tape, a trigger, a hammer on the trigger for exploding the tape, and means for gnidin the tape into the path of the hammer.

6. A toy pistol comprising a magazine adapted to receive an explosive tape therein, a spring for guiding the tape, a trigger, a hammer on the trigger and a spring on the hammer adapted to engage the tape for feeding it in the path of the hammer as the hammer is actuated preparatory to strihin the tape.

'7. A toy pistol comprising a barrel and handle, saidv handle adapted to receive an explosive tape thm'ein, a removable handle hack, an anvil formed on the back, a trigger, a hammer on the trig r, and means for l'eeih ing the tape on to t in anvil whereby it is exploded. upon the operatiim ol' the hammer.

b, A toy pistol comprising a handle, a removable lMUZl-i, means on the hack l'or receiv ing an explosive tape, a spring supported in. the handle l'or guiding the tape, a trigger, a hammer on the trigger, and a spring coninrcted to the trigger l'or feeding the tape in the path of the hammer whereby it is exploded upon the operation of the hammer.

9. A toy pistol comprising a barrel and handle, a removable back, an anvil formed on the back, means for supporting an explosive tape on the back, a spring for guiding the tape, a trigger, a hammer on the trigger, and means on thehammer for feeding the tape to the anvil where it is exploded upon the operation of the hammer.

10. A toy )ist-ol comprising a barrel and handle, a biLOli, means for pivotally supporting the back on the handle, said back'eapable of being removed from the handle-Without interfering with the pivotally supporting feeding the tape into the path of the hammer" as the hammer is actuated preparatory to exploding the tape.

in testimony whereof I allix my signature, in the presence of two witnesses.
